The Westboro Baptist Church Nutballs to "Protest" Pfc Tommy Tucker's Funeral (as we told you last week) but Look Who's Friends with Fred Phelps!








Al Gore! Sorry for the bad quality pictures. I'm sure Al didn't think anyone would be putting them on anyone's website someday!

You can also Google a photo of Saddam shaking hands with Rumsfeld if you like. What does that prove?

What does it prove, Mongo?

"Gore Political Ties to "God Hates Fags" Founders Uncovered
Gore and Wife Tipper Headlined Fundraiser at Phelps' Topeka Home; Phelps Family Reportedly Invited to Clinton-Gore Inaugurations in 93 and 97

October 25, 2000

(WASHINGTON) Reports linking Vice President Al Gore with notorious anti-gay activist Fred Phelps, Jr., and the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas were confirmed with the release of photographs showing Gore at a fundraiser at the home of Fred Phelps, Jr., who told the Conservative News Service on October 16 that he served as a Gore delegate on the floor of the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta in 1988."

To give Gore the benefit of doubt, I imagine he has since distanced himself from them.

As for Rumsfeld and Saddam, at the time of that picture, we were not fighting Saddam, were we? Good or bad, he was the head of a country and we were trying to use him fighting Iran and to limit his power.

Some difference there.

Mongo7 said...

In fact we were selling him WMDs at the time.

BEAR said...

no, mongo, just liberal phone numbers.

Lew said...

In fact we were selling him WMDs at the time.

This from the one who cries his questions of "what does victory mean" never gets answered?

Care to supply some actual (translated; FACT) proof of this claim from somewhere besides DailyKos or Democratic Underground?

You claim it as a "FACT," so it shouldn't be too hard to post some actual documentation.

Mongo7 said...

OK Lew, put this in your pipe and smoke it.

After Rumsfeld's visit to Baghdad in 1983....over the protest of some Pentagon skeptics,the Reagan administration began allowing the Iraqis to buy a wide variety of "dual use" equipment and materials from American suppliers. According to confidential Commerce Department export-control documents obtained by NEWSWEEK, the shopping list included.......
chemical-analysis equipment for the Iraq Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC), and, most unsettling, numerous shipments of "bacteria/ fungi/protozoa" to the IAEC. According to former officials, the bacterial cultures could be used to make biological weapons, including anthrax.

Lew said...

BWWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

That's your proof? A demented old Democrat former Ku Klux Klan member from West Virginia reading a Newsweek article into the Senate Record?

Don't you have anything by Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton reciting a New York Times article?

Mongo7 said...

Lew does not want you to see this picture:

Lew said...

Bwahahahaha, that tired old picture?

Let's see, if there is a Republican shaking hands with a despot years ago, it's bad. A Democrat giving nuclear and missle secrets to despots is okay.

Show me the picture of Rummie handing Saddam a vial of any WMD, then you have something to actually complain about.

Mongo7 said...

Corporations that have sold dual-use chemicals and biological samples to Iraq for its weapons program include: Phillips Petroleum, Unilever, Alcolac, Allied Signal, the American Type Culture Collection, and Teledyne. Teledyne pled guilty to charges of criminal conspiracy, false statements, and violations of the Export Administration Act and the Arms Export Control Act for indirectly exporting 130 tons of zirconium to Iraq through Chilean arms manufacturer Carlos Cardoen. The zirconium was intended for use in cluster bombs. In defense, Teledyne argued during the trial that the CIA had authorized the shipments. The Baltimore company Alcolac was convicted of illegally selling thiodiglycol--a chemical precursor used in the production of mustard gas--for use in Iraq's chemical warfare program.

Lew said...

Another Newsweek quote, Mongo? Maybe the National Inquirer?

Care to post all the weapons sold to Saddam by Russia, France and Germany?

Care to list all the systems Clinton sold to North Korea and China?

Next, show me actual proof, not some paranoid liberal rants, that anyone knowingly ever sold Saddam material for the excluisive use of building WMDs.

If you can't find another Robert 'Sheets' Byrd reading of a liberal article, try Pelosi or Kennedy. They can find complaints under every desk (save the left).

Victoria Taft said...

Maybe Gore had this picture taken with Fred when he was pro life. Remember when he was pro life?

Lew said...

Was that before or after he invented the internet and planted, hoed, sprayed, chopped, shredded and placed tobacco in the barn?

Mongo7 said...

Lew, don't you learn. Gore never said he invented the internet. That he did, isust another oft repeated rightwing lie. I thought after the Murtha debacle, you would be more careful and had learned your lesson. But apparently you need more than one lesson.

Lew said...

Mongo, nice liberal nuancing, as usual. His actual wording on that was, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

Please explain the difference in "inventing" and "taking the initiative to create," especially considering the internet was already created and in use when he said it.

I await your nuance.

As for the Murtha deal, all you have done is once again show the left to be total hypocrites adhering to your double standard. Only in your dreams did you accomplish anything else.

Have some more kook-aid.

Mongo7 said...

By your reasoning President Eisenhower invented the Interstate Highway System and Edison took a significant initiative to create the lighbulb. I am not a linguist but I believe there is a significant difference between invent and taking the initiative. Of course that distinction does is troubling to the the Rightie Lie that Gore said he invented the internet.

Lew said...

Well, Mongo, now that you dance is over, care to explain the difference between "I invented the internet" and "I took the initiative in creating the Internet," as originally asked, since you claim he never said it.

Yes, I know it was nuanced, as usual, but I await your nuancing.

Dance all you wish, sooner or later, your blinders will have to come off and you will find yourself lost and noone to turn to to tell you how to think!

Mongo7 said...

Lew, one problem with your repetition of the lie. If the words "create" and "invent" mean exactly the same thing, I have to ask why, then, the media overwhelmingly and consistently cited Gore as having claimed he "invented" the Internet, even though he never used that word, and transcripts of what he actually said were readily available. Why not use the word "create"? Where did the word invent come from?

ModerateLew said...

I think it came from Karl Rove

Lew said...

More obfuscation, Mongo?

cre·ate 1. To cause to exist; bring into being. 2. To give rise to; produce. 3. To invest with an office or title; appoint. 4. To produce through artistic or imaginative effort.

in·vent 1. To produce or contrive (something previously unknown) by the use of ingenuity or imagination. 2. To make up; fabricate.

Funnier still, when placing invent in the thesauraus, the very first similar word that pops up is, are you ready? CREATE

So, by your nuance, he didn't use the actual word "invent," just "create." therefore, everyone but him is a liar.

LOL, you sure love your kook-aid.

It also shows me you just wish to argue over anything. My comment to Victoria was joking around and you have to fill space defending another loser.

As I have posted before, the only thinbg worse than beating a dead horse is betting on one. Your boys lost the elections, there is no nuance that can change that.

Mongo7 said...

As far as beating a dead horse, you seem to respond to my every post on the subject. I am honored that I cannot be ignored. You are always afraid that someone else may have the last word. That does not matter in the grand scheme of things, but the truth does.

Scottiebill said...

Mongo apparently sides with the Kansas Kooks who are planning to do all they can to increase the pain and suffering the families of the dead soldiers during their funerals.

Notice that they did not show up in Portland yesterday. But, we will see today if they show up in Madras today. If they do,actually show up, Mongo, are you going to be there with them?

Lew said...

Gee, Mongo, your honored because I answer posts you make to me? Doesn't take much with you, does it?

Incidentally, since there are currently so few of us steadily posting, it's sort of hard to not respond to each other and keep a discussion going.

Don't flatter yourself too much.
